Dressed in Red
Sierra July
Writers depict them in text
and film
With skull protrusions,
hotter-than-sun-burnt skin
Frequently lugging giant
forks for sport
Flashing fanged teeth in a
wicked grin.
Who knew the world's true
little imp
Was a toddler with a temper
tantrum?
Poet's Notes: This one is a humorous piece likening
an irksome cranky child to a little demon since anger can feel like a form of
possession. Luckily when all is right in their worlds again children regrow
their angel wings and put on their cherubic smiles.
